i've done serving before,and i hated it. well,i hate the service industry period,but it's a job.. anyway.. over the years,i've noticed some guests demands are getting more and more ridiculous.no matter how much you have,they always want something else. i left banquets and went back into housekeeping,thinking i'd get away from it..nope. my inn has a breakfast room.i often have to switch off with the usual girl so she can have a day off. every morning,there's a continental breakfast served.a cold one,as stated in the hotel site. "do you do requests?" no,you get what's on the line. "where's the meat?" cold.continental.breakfast.eat your damn fruit. "how come you have strawberries but not blueberries?" cause i don't buy the food. and these people eat HUGE portions.like they'd been in a desert and stumbled onto a hotel.i know it's free,but DAMN have some self control. "why are you out of croissants?" cause your buddy in room 9 ate 6. "can i feed the seagulls?" if you want poop on your food,knock yourself out.i'll laugh. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa i can't wait to retire. maybe. one of these days.

"Continental breakfast" always refer to Europe, except UK, we do not eat eggs and meat in the morning, usually a croissant, toasted bread and a little jam. Six croissants is really too much.

@MALUSE Many Hotels here in Switzerland offer a "Swiss breakfast" that is a mix of Continental and German, there is the espresso with gipfels (croissants), but also yogurt, fruits, cheese and boiled eggs. The coffee for Italians is never good outside Italy. Most of my friends call the drip coffee "socks laundry water".

@MALUSE I cannot imagine the smell. I cannot stand the smell of fried bacon in the morning, it makes me sick.

@scarlet_woman Any way dealing with people is not easy. They are very demanding and do not think of how hard you work.
